Think your school lunch was bad… spare a thought for these kids in China forced to eat rotting meat and horrific-looking bread

ONE of China’s most prestigious secondary schools has been forced to apologise after horrified parents discovered it had been serving their children rotting food for lunch.

Piles of mouldy bread, rotting meat and “stinky” seafood were found in buckets and on the floor of the canteen at Chengdu No 7 Experimental High School.

Parents photographed piles of rotting meat and what appears to be expired seafoodThe ‘stinky and disgusting’ grub was strewn across the floor and kept in open unrefrigerated boxesMouldy bread was among the food found in the kitchen

Stomach churning photos taken by parents during a visit show the expired ingredients left out in the open, with parents comparing the food to “zombie meat” and pig slop.

The school, which charges 39,000 yuan (£4,380) a year and has been named among China’s “Top 10 outstanding private schools, has now apologised saying it is deeply “embarrassed” by the scandal.

One dad linked the disgusting discovery to an incident last November where numerous children suffered stomach-aches, constipation and other ailments.

The father, who has daughter and a son enrolled at the school, told the BBC: “The items looked like they had been in a freezer for years, [it looked] like zombie meat.

Finally the school apologised and vowed to stop taking food from its current supplier, which also caters to over 100,000 students from across 20 schools according to the dad.

Wenjiang district government issued a statement yesterday saying eight people responsible for food safety at the school were being investigated by authorities.

It added that 36 students from the school had been admitted into the local hospital for a check-up. All were later discharged.

Local authorities also vowed to conduct a “comprehensive and in-depth investigation” and send off the raw food for testing.
